The jquery click event doesn't work in mobile safari.

I tried the "curson: pointer", also downgrade/upgrad jquery version but nothing work.

$(".next").click(function(){
    if(animating) return false;
    animating = true;

This is the jquery: http://thecodeplayer.com/uploads/js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js

In desktop, ipad and Android smarthpone browsers the code work fine. In chrome and safari mobile (iphone) the buttons don't work.

Answer 1

Try adding touchstart:

$(".next").on('touchstart click', function(){
    ...
});

Answer 2

The problem is iPhones don't raise click events. They raise "touch" events. Adding in the following code works.

function touchHandler(event){
    var touches = event.changedTouches,
        first = touches[0],
        type = "";

    switch(event.type)
    {
       case "touchstart": type = "mousedown"; break;
       case "touchmove":  type = "mousemove"; break;        
       case "touchend":   type = "mouseup"; break;
       default: return;
    }

    var simulatedEvent = document.createEvent("MouseEvent");
    simulatedEvent.initMouseEvent(type, true, true, window, 1, 
                          first.screenX, first.screenY, 
                          first.clientX, first.clientY, false, 
                          false, false, false, 0/*left*/, null);

    first.target.dispatchEvent(simulatedEvent);
    event.preventDefault();
}

function init() {
    document.addEventListener("touchstart", touchHandler, true);
    document.addEventListener("touchmove", touchHandler, true);
    document.addEventListener("touchend", touchHandler, true);
    document.addEventListener("touchcancel", touchHandler, true);    
}
